The NKWD expects the total system water usage to remain relatively flat for the next 30 years. Figure 3 illustrates the estimated water demand to the year 2050. This trend is attributed to the more widespread use of water saving fixtures and appliances. Based on this data, the current treatment system is more than capable of supplying the projected demands over the next 3 decades.
